Although the temperature in Xiongdu was not too low, as a representative of Forsbarrow, Haguire still wore a fur-based coat and left his residence calmly.
Haguire, a native of Forsbarrow, is currently the leader of the Forsbarrow Intelligence Group [Bird Group], codenamed [Tern].
This team leader, who was born as a hunter, is one of the few non-spellcasters in the intelligence team.
Before becoming a member of the intelligence team, Haguire, a hunter, already had the nickname "Migratory Bird" - Migratory Bird means that no matter how complex the environment is, he can always clearly distinguish the direction and remember the direction.
The path I took when I came here was like a migratory bird migrating every year.
Because of this ability, before Forsbarrow's production structure changed, he was the most important hunter in the Hunters Guild. He was responsible for leading the hunters into the mountains when there was the most prey.
In the Longji Mountains, snow can easily change the terrain. For hunters who are unable to follow a fixed route, a guide who is extremely sensitive to direction is naturally extremely important. With a guide there, even if the terrain in the mountains changes due to sudden changes in weather,
Even if drastic changes occurred, they would not be lost in the mountains.
Therefore, even though Haguire only led the way and never hunted, in large-scale hunting, he always got the most prey in the end.
It was precisely because of his outstanding sense of direction that when Ino set out for Ionia, he was chosen as the guide and became a member of the thirty-person envoy.
During this trip, Haguire showed amazing learning ability and enthusiasm. Although he had no education and was basically illiterate, he spent more than a year learning the basic skills of drawing maps.
Later, with the successful return of the thirty-man mission and the gradual decline of Forsbarrow's hunting activities, Haguire completely gave up his identity as a hunter and officially joined Forsbarrow's intelligence team through Ino's inspection.
.
Just at this time, Fosbairo's tax holiday was about to end. According to the usual practice, Fosbairo needed to send a representative to the capital to attend the meeting of the noble council. After some internal inspections, Haguire passed
After being personally reviewed by Kalya, he became the leader of the [Bird Group], codenamed [Tern], which specializes in collecting intelligence about the capital.
The northern terns, which nest and breed in the Dragonspine Mountains in summer, are the birds with the longest known migration distance in Demacia. When the north enters autumn, these small birds will fly across the entire continent of Valoran, heading to
Wintering near Kalamanda, at the foot of Mount Targon.
The code name of Tern means that Haguire can always remember all routes and information like a tern that has migrated 20,000 miles.
After passing Kalya's professional training, Haguire led the Bird Group and entered the capital as an envoy of Forsbarrow, becoming an observer of the Parliament of Nobles.
According to Demacia's tradition, the Noble Council should represent the will of all nobles. In theory, any noble should be a member of the Noble Council.
However, since the nobles all have their own fiefdoms, and it is not easy to stay in power, except for those big nobles with a strong family background, it is difficult for other small nobles to actually attend the noble council.
As a result, noble representatives came into being - nobles can dispatch the most trusted people under their command to represent themselves in the noble parliament.
Representatives of the nobility have neither the right to make suggestions nor the right to vote. In the Parliament of Nobles, they can only be regarded as ears.
In Demacia, the number of noble representatives is not large, because for those nobles whose fiefdoms are only one or two villages in size, it is completely impossible to send a representative to emasculate, and even if such nobles appear in person, they will not speak.
They didn't have any weight, so they simply didn't send any representatives and abstained forever by default.
This was the case with Forsbarrow before.
At that time, the situation in the capital was tense, and the noble council and the royal family were almost at odds with each other. It was meaningless to send a representative at this time, and there was no one in Forsbarrow who could act as a representative on his own at that time.
But later, with Ino's return and Fosbairo starting to pay taxes, the matter of dispatching representatives became very important.
Considering that the situation in Xiongdu is quite special, it is not easy for the magicians with rich experience in Freljord to participate. In the end, Haguire, who showed his personal ability in the thirty-person mission, was selected and became
The envoy representing Lux at the Noble Council, and also Fosbairo's ears in the capital.
Due to the development of trade in the north, Fosbairo already had several independent shops in Xiongdu at this time. Through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce, Haguier was able to continuously send back to the north the news he had inquired about in Xiongdu.
The information from Lux and Ino's parents' home is corroborated and serves as an important reference for Xiongdu.
Moreover, as the representative of His Excellency Count Laxana, Haguire can also openly contact the Art Support Association and collect information through the Art Support Association - His Excellency the Count cares about art the most.
Previously, Fosbairo's high-end furs created a craze in Xiongdu through the Art Support Association, of which Haguier contributed a lot.
Today is another regular meeting of the Parliament of Nobles. He got up early and put on a formal suit full of Forsbarrow style. Haguire arrived at the meeting place of the Parliament early as usual and found a good seat in the auditorium.
Although Forsbarrow can be regarded as an important town in the north, Haguire is a completely transparent person here - in fact, even representatives who can only listen but cannot speak have different identities, such as
They are offshoots of the nobility and children of the nobility. Even if they are not qualified to speak at the meeting, they can at least communicate with each other and even reach cooperation.
But someone like Haguire, who has been a representative of the common people for eight generations, can really only serve as a meeting background and a wood carving and clay sculpture.
In addition, Haguire deliberately spoke in a thick northern dialect every time he opened his mouth. Over time, even representatives who hoped to have a closer relationship with Foss Bairol were too lazy to talk to him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Soon, today's regular meeting will begin.
Haguire sat upright with a serious expression, but he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart - the regular meetings of the Parliament of Nobles are often quite boring. Although the content of the meeting is not trivial, it is not a big deal after all, plus Forsbarrow
Not within the public eye, what Haguire even wanted to record was not too much.
However, there seems to be something wrong with today's regular meeting.
Mr. Barrett Bouvier, His Majesty's confidant and moneybag, attended the meeting in person.
Under normal circumstances, a regular meeting is not enough for the busy Mr. Barrett to attend in person - considering that this person does not look like he has nothing to do... I am afraid that this regular meeting should have
Quite an important thing!
Realizing this, Haguire instantly became vigilant.
Then, Barrett dropped a bombshell directly: He announced an extremely lengthy proposal, but Haguire realized the weight of the proposal when he heard the beginning.
"Several proposals regarding the inheritance of noble families..."
……………………
In Demacia, the law of Tyne inheritance was proposed hundreds of years ago and was even implemented for a time.
In that era, a noble's territory and title would be jointly inherited by all his heirs except for his illegitimate son. The territory would be infinitely subdivided and the title would be reduced from generation to generation.
The nobles who were divided into small families had difficulty uniting and had limited strength. The noble council gradually became a vegetable market. The king only needed to pay a small price to win the nobles into his camp and completely control the council.
As a result, the then King Enno I, who promoted the Tuien Succession Law, relied on this to almost turn the Parliament of Nobles into a face-saving organization, and completely put power in the hands of the king.
Then, just when Demacia began to develop towards a centralized country, history made an interesting joke. Enno I had many heirs, and some of them who were not clear-headed began to make noises about Tie En. As a result, the royal family also
Serious divisions occurred, and Demacia even fell into chaos for a time.
It coincided with the massive invasion of Noxians, and if it hadn't coincided with Galio's awakening, I'm afraid Demacia would have been in bad luck during that war.
Afterwards, the royal family and the nobles, who were still frightened, finally sat down and had a good conversation, and tacitly rejected the Tuen inheritance law. It was then that the system of branches of the Demacia noble family was born and gradually developed to what it is today.
Haguire has studied this part of history, so he knows very well what it means when the royal family once again proposes the Tuen Succession Law at this time - His Majesty the King is a climber, and it is really too early for him to consider the inheritance issue.
If the Tuien Succession Law is passed, he can completely break all the noble fiefs into pieces!
As a result, even before Barrett finished reading the draft opinion, the aristocratic parliament exploded, and voices of opposition continued.
As long as a noble has a little knowledge of history, he will never agree to restart the Tuen Succession Law - this is simply poaching the lifeblood of the nobles!
Facing the excited nobles, Haguier only felt funny in his heart.
Although ten years ago, he was still an unknown hunter guide and had never even met the nobles, but now his footprints have traveled across several continents in Runeterra. For these "noble" nobles, he has deep feelings in his heart.
Not even a little bit of respect.
Tweet inheritance law?
That thing has nothing to do with Forsbarrow, just eat whatever you want!
This proposal is great, it will refresh myself immediately!
In this way, Haguire happily sat in the back row all morning, watching the hysterical ugliness of the nobles. The only pity was that Barrett was not determined enough. Under the unanimous opposition of everyone, he refused to inherit the throne.
The law has not even entered the review stage.
Mr. Barrett, who had been disgraced, seemed quite dissatisfied. Seeing that the issues related to the Tyne Succession Law could not be passed at all, he continued to read out the detailed proposals that followed: the use of family emblems, the size of the carriage, the opera
Tax exemptions for performance groups, diplomatic attitude towards the Principality of Valoran, transaction tax on food import and export...
Wait, transaction tax on grain import and export?
Haguire, who had been happily eating melons before, was extremely surprised to find that this time he actually ate the melons at his own home!
According to Barrett, with peace in Valoran, Demacia should reduce food exports to the Principality of Valoran, especially low-price exports. Without the interference of Noxians, these countries should learn to
Produce food instead of lying on Demacia's body as a vampire.
The words were high-sounding words, but in the ears of the nobles, they sounded like they were trying to show respect for losing face.
As for the proposal to increase the tax on grain exports, this is clearly because the royal family wants to reduce the subsidized aid to its allies and instead let them spend money to buy it - for fear that some nobles will steal the business and deliberately raise the tax rate!
But... if you are willing to improve, then improve!
Anyway, the area close to the city-states and principalities of Valoran is almost all royal territory, and we don’t have the channels to sell it!
Therefore, this article was passed quickly, and no noble was willing to bother here.
It's time to eat soon, hurry up and finish talking and eat quickly.
As this article was passed quickly, the Haguir people were stunned.
You are all fine, what about Forsbarrow?
Ten years are about to expire, and Forsbarrow is about to pay all taxes normally. In this case, the passage of this proposal will mean that all the grain earned by Forsbarrow exported to Freljord will have to pay three taxes.
Give one part to Xiongdu!
Although trade in the Freljord is profitable, after such a move, the profit will be reduced by half at least, right?
As an observer, Haguire does not have the right to vote or speak. In this case, he can only watch the proposal pass and enter the follow-up review stage. If everything goes well, it will be implemented this year!
Damn it, how could this happen?
Aren't you discussing the law of succession?
After the meeting ended, Haguire left in a hurry, returned to his residence as soon as possible, and wrote a letter.
After sealing the letter with wax, he quickly went to the store where he often contacted and mailed the letter through the channel of the Bird Group.
However, what Haguier didn't know was that just as the next member of the bird group hurriedly left the capital with the letter and riding a fast horse, a dangerous hunter followed him.
The messenger had just left the confines of Xiongdu. When he entered the mountains, he suddenly felt a palpitation on the galloping horse. The blood in his chest seemed to be boiling, and his eyes became extremely red.
Realizing that something was wrong, the messenger pulled on the horse's reins, but before the horse could stop, his heart stopped beating as the blood flowed backwards.
The next moment, the sensitive horse was suddenly frightened, and after a long neigh, it ran wildly, rushed out of the road, and plunged down the cliff. Finally, a bright red flower bloomed under the cliff.
Then, a ghostly figure appeared next to the corpses of a man and a horse, and he took the time to pull out the blood-stained letter.
"The response is quite fast." The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he easily tore off the paint, "Let me see what you wrote... huh?"
Looking at the square symbols on the paper, Vladimir fell into self-doubt at this moment.
